Hello There
I am new to these forums as I found that this was the place to ask about headphones. Now I currently on the search for a pair of headphones for myself, which I will use for gaming and music. I'm not so much of a competitive gamer but I do enjoy gaming and wish for a good pair. My music genres are dubstep, rock, pop, and generally anything that's recently come out. I do love my bass so I would prefer bass heavy headphones. I kind of wish for slightly stylish headphones like the AKG Q701 headphones but they are a tad over my budget of $100-$250
Ok so what I've found so far:

Beyer DT 770 Pro 80 ($150-$200):

I know this is a wide range of studio and monitor headphones but out of these I wish to know which one has the best bass and sound clarity. Also I'm not so sure about the open and closed headphones, so If someone could inform me it would be great. Also I will be sometimes be wearing these in public so some thought of style is needed to be considered. 
 
Ok so I hear that using a portable amp is necessary for some higher Ohm headphones but will I need one? If I were to get one could I just get the cheaper FiiO E6. Please note that this has to be included in the budget.

Alright it's quite a lot and this took me a while to write but please remember, the cheaper the better!

Thanks
 
Sorry also if you were to rank these from best to worst for gaming then for music it would be great e.g.
 
Games:
denon ah d1100
sennheiser hd 280 pro
 
Music:
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
Denon AH D1100
 
Thanks again

I would go after Denon d2000 or Ultrasone hifi580 for dubstep and clarity. 
Or you could wait for Vmoda m100

Replace D1100 with CAL!
 
And cross off HD280 completely.

The DT770 pro80 is what you need. Bass heavy and nice clarity.
Not the most accurate headphone out there for picking up details on games, but is a fun sounding can.

Heya,
 
Beyer DT990 PRO (250ohm) for you sir.

$170
 
Very best,

The Audio Technica ATH-M50 will do or for more bass try the Sony MDR-XB700
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-XB700-Extra-Bass-Headphones/dp/B001RB24SW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1334196164&sr=1-1
